Use the practice's preparation checklist
When the practice uses a consultation followed by a later appointment, keep the consultation, the practice-approved pre-visit form and the practitioner's recorded review status linked to the relevant visit. A booking or payment does not by itself satisfy a clinical requirement.
Preserve approved instruction versions
Use only the wording and version authorised by the practice for the patient or visit. A later change should identify which earlier message it replaces. The assistant can prepare an administrative cover note but must not invent treatment, medication or recovery advice.
Hand open questions to the right person
List each unanswered patient question with its source and the role responsible for replying. Reception can then follow up on a specific open item before the clinical team makes the appointment decision.

No. It organises statuses for qualified staff and cannot replace their assessment.
Can the assistant create aftercare instructions?
Use exact practice-approved wording. New clinical instructions are outside this workflow.

The vendor separately describes booking a consultation, a pre-visit form, and review of the form by the practitioner before a subsequent appointment.
This is a vendor description without an independent test. UNKNOWN whether the example process records a separate staff confirmation status; it does not determine staff decisions in a particular case.
